I am trying to run distcp between 2 hdfs clusters and I am getting a ConnectException .
The Command I am trying to run is of the form (considering clusters hadoop-A & hadoop-B):
./hadoop distcp -update hdfs://hadoop-A:8020/dira/part-r-00000 hdfs://hadoop-B:8020/dirb/
and I am running it on the destination cluster (hadoop-B).
The stacktrace for the exception is :
Copy failed: java.net.ConnectException: Call to hadoop-A/10.0.173.11:8020 failed on connection
exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

I have tried ping and ssh in between these clusters and it is working fine. On both clusters
namenode is running as the same user.
The strange part is if I try the command on a single cluster (both source & destination
are on same DFS- so its a simple copy), it still fails with the same exception. So I mean
I run the command below on cluster A.
./hadoop distcp -update hdfs://hadoop-A:8020/dir1/part-r-00000 hdfs://hadoop-A:8020/dir2/
Is there anything else I need to have to get the distcp working? Any hints on what I could
check will be helpful.
Thanks,
